1 // Puppy cuddles, both with my sweet pup and the cutie above. (Have I introduced everyone to him yet? This is Odin and he brings love and happiness to the home of some good friends of mine.)
2 // Thinking ahead to my next trip to Colombia.
3 // My Salt Cathedral post is finally up! (I’ve been postponing it for far too long.)
4 // Added a bunch of writing classes to my calendar so that I remember to sign up for them as they approach.
5 // Cooler weather. Maybe this time the fall-like weather will stick.
6 // Ordered some desk supplies that will hopefully come this weekend so that I can get set it up.
7 // Lots and lots of cooking over the weekend.
8 // Already grabbed a Starbucks coffee (or two).
9 // My mermaid tail blanket arrived! (Yep, my mermaid tail blanket. It’s awesome!)
10 // Anticipation for a cold press with a shot of raspberry at my writing class tomorrow. I think I might like the coffeeshop as much as I like the writing classes!
What made you happy this week?

November 11, 2016 at 8:39 amHi Crystal! I’m so glad I’ve found you here on the web. We sound a bit like kindred spirits… if that’s not too weird a thing to say lol. I am traveling in Germany right now and missing my dog, Pascal, sooooo much! I too am a writer, though I’m deep in the midst of editing right now, and I’m really missing the writing bit. I’ve been a tea drinker for years, but I’ve really gotten hooked on coffee in this past year–my waistline has not been thanking me for it since I cannot drink coffee straight. It looks like you’re doing NaNo this year, what are you working on? My projects never seem to line up with NaNo, but I tend to write at that pace. I’m in the Blog Passion Project group and I’d love it if you’d stop by sometime. I just created a whole new resources section for writers that I’m super excited about 🙂

November 20, 2016 at 8:17 pmHi Meg,
I will definitely check out your website! I’m glad you found me too. 🙂
I am working on NaNo. I’ve also been working on something else that’s kind of occupied my attention more than I would have liked, so I’m not very far on my NaNo progress, but hopefully I’ll be able to end with a decent word count after a few days off for the holiday this week. 🙂

Have a fabulous weekend!
Hugs xxx

November 20, 2016 at 8:16 pmIsn’t he? I love it when his humans send me snaps of him. I don’t get to see him enough!

November 11, 2016 at 1:05 pmOMG you got a mermaid tail blanket! AWESOME! But that puppy face takes the cake. What a cutie!! Have a great weekend!
Crystal // Dreams, etc.
November 20, 2016 at 8:15 pmI love it! Will definitely share some photos soon. But yes, I agree. Odin was probably the best thing about the week. I love that little guy.
Charlotte
November 11, 2016 at 4:55 pmOMG, i just want to kiss that puppy face <3 SO CUTE!! Thank you for sharing. I love pitties so much 🙂
Also–mermaid tail blanket !!!!! I totally want one of these 🙂 Ha! Please take so many pictures when you have it!
Crystal // Dreams, etc.
November 20, 2016 at 8:14 pmIsn’t he adorable? I agree about how kissable his face is! I kept leaning down to give him a kiss, but he’d always beat me to it! 😂
The blanket is here, so I will definitely take some pictures of it! 🙂

November 11, 2016 at 8:13 pmAwww! Puppy cuddles are the best! This week I was so happy when my hubby and I went to a coffee shop to work on the blog/his schoolwork 🙂
Crystal // Dreams, etc.
November 20, 2016 at 8:12 pmThey are! I love them!
That sounds like fun. 🙂 I always think it looks like such a great time when couples go out to a coffeeshop to work together.

November 11, 2016 at 8:29 pmThere is no such thing as too much coffee. Same goes for tea! :p
Being able to handle the duties of a colleague while she’s on leave made me all worried but helped boost my confidence as well. The worst part is I have dreaming about balancing of accounts the past two nights. Dang it. Can’t be more thankful that weekend is finally here!
Crystal // Dreams, etc.
November 20, 2016 at 8:12 pmSo true!
Sounds like it turned out to be good, even if it was stressful and infiltrated your dreams. I always hate when I have dreams about work and then have to go in again the next day. It’s like I never left! I hope you enjoyed your weekend. 🙂

November 11, 2016 at 8:46 pmGah! he is precious! Yay for mermaid tail blankets! I am with you. The cooler weather is amazing.
Crystal // Dreams, etc.
November 20, 2016 at 8:11 pmIsn’t he? I love him!
Meghan
November 12, 2016 at 4:20 pmOoh, please share what writing classes you are taking. Also, MERMAID TAIL BLANKET?! Do tell where you got such awesomeness.
Crystal // Dreams, etc.
November 20, 2016 at 8:09 pmI have taken so many recently! This weekend I took a class called Descriptive Narrative in Fiction and last week I took a class on writing engaging fiction so that it captivates the reader. And I also recently took a class on Silencing Your Inner Critic.
Yes! It’s the best thing ever and I think it’ll be really nice this winter. It’s from arielblankets.com. 🙂

November 12, 2016 at 8:51 pmGreat list hun! Odin is SO stinkin’ cute!!
I hope you’re doing something relaxing this weekend after the crazy week it’s been.
Crystal // Dreams, etc.
November 20, 2016 at 8:10 pmThanks Lindsay! Isn’t he adorable? I love him so much!

November 12, 2016 at 11:13 pmMy first thought was totally, wait who is this cute puppy…did I totally miss something in my months of not reading?
Wheee just another friend love.
Happy this week=coloring
period! lol
Crystal // Dreams, etc.
November 20, 2016 at 8:06 pmHaha! Nope, not my puppy. Although I have been totally tempted to dognap him. 😉 Yep, just another puppy friend! I told his humans that I’m adopting him as my canine nephew.
That sounds like fun!

November 13, 2016 at 5:13 pmLots of things made you happy! For me is the fact we put up our Christmas decorations.
Crystal // Dreams, etc.
November 20, 2016 at 8:05 pmThat’s awesome! I love when the Christmas decorations come out. 🙂

November 13, 2016 at 7:08 pmWhat a cute dog!! I need to get some Starbucks this week! Weekend is the best time for cooking!
Crystal // Dreams, etc.
November 20, 2016 at 8:04 pmIsn’t he adorable? And yes, it is! I love it. 🙂

November 15, 2016 at 12:42 pmPuppy cuddles are always the best! I have had Starbucks as well this week. It was much needed! A trip to Columbia sounds like a lot of fun. I’ve never been before. We are supposed to get a cool front coming our way this weekend. I must say I hope it stays as well.
Crystal // Dreams, etc.
November 20, 2016 at 8:04 pmThey are! 🙂
I really enjoyed Colombia and definitely recommend it if people are interested.
We got some snow this weekend and it’s definitely cold out! Is it cold where you are?
